Morning Clay. Only 8 people from my community showed up at the sentencing of the developer who pled guilty to voter fraud. Bloomingburg sucks. He packed the courtroom with friends and family. Judge notated it

Middletown NY checking in from WMFU--no Sloatsburg? Will be traveling through there shortly so I'll check 'em in too. Oscillations? Wow--the ONLY other time I've heard the Silver Apples on the radio was when I played them. V cool morning drive.

clay sir.. I been dying to hear "pork roll eye and cheese" by ween. No biggie i can play it myself buuuuut... lol The philly boy roy in me is jonesing huh? for a pork roll egg and cheese on a kaiser bun.

Good morning from S Florida. Things slowly getting back to normal down here. Some still without power. Large piles of branches and brush everywhere. Haven't seen much structural damage, just some shingles off. My place was ok just some broken bamboo shoots.

I remember working on flood defences in Fargo ND in 2009 and the communities worked tirelessly. I never have ever seen such enthusiasm from the kids either. None of them would give up sandbagging and wanted to do all the heavy lifting. Great to see.

BnowB, we do have sandy soil in these parts, not like they're growing on rocky terrain. Where I saw the largest trees down was around a golf course. The result of too much watering is the roots don't have to dig deep to get enough water.

BnowB--yeah, I know the feeling. I also use this time of year as a reminder to get my flu shot. Lots of heavy stuff going on this week; spent last night with elderly relatives of a friend helping them hammer out power of atty stuff...my friend himself couldn't make it because his Mom suddenly fell ill.

On a more positive note, on Friday going out to Mom to eat brisket, chicken soup, kasha varnishkas, and honey cake. Then on Sunday it's the Maker Fair at Flushing Meadow Park. Exhausting week but hopefully will be ending on a positive note...

@Threemoons-similar plans, dinner with elderly (almost 101) Mother In Law and her baby sister (98) tonight, will pick up food from Lock, Stock and Deli (good NJ deli), Kasha Varnishkas, Matzo Ball Soup, stuffed cabbage, all that stuff, looking forward to it (they're too old to make this stuff at this point).
